A man who admitted supplying amphetamines has been warned he could face jail.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Robert Thompson, 21, pleaded guilty to possession of the Class-B drug with intent to supply. Thompson, of John Street, Boldon Colliery, told police in February the drugs were for friends.

He was bailed until January 17 for a pre-sentence report. Judge Beatrice Bolton said: "The bail is no indication of sentence."
